AJC - Day #12

I decided to broaden my horizons on using oil pastels, so I did what any curious mind would do, I went to YouTube. I searched "using oil pastels" and lots of videos appeared. I watched a few and then decided to apply what I learned on the above two pages. I took out my Cray Pas Oil Pastels and began to work. I colored, smudged and smeared the colors onto the page. I also played with blending stumps and toothpicks. I really enjoyed their smooth creaminess and their vibrant colors. Blending colors was a breeze. I give them a big thumbs up and an A+.

I just looked again and realized I did a similar page in my journal this week. I did flowers kind of like the left side of your page spread. I haven't posted it on my blog yet. I used markers to colour mine. Strange coincidence! :D

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog. I've broadened my horizons and started to include all the things that inspire and excite me. I've added "not just scrapbooking" to my title bar to relay that message and to go beyond one theme for this blog. I still hope that this blog will inspire you to use up all of your stashes of paper and art supplies. But, I also hope to inspire you to go beyond what's expected and really experiment with fresh new ways of doing things. Remember that there are no rules in creating art. Thanks for coming by!
